About the wine
This elegant and smooth red blend comes from a historic vineyard YOU helped save!
Hundreds of Angels voted to save Oscar and Claudia’s historic family vineyard in the Douro Valley – and this superb red is the payoff! Your red blend is rich, elegant and wonderfully fresh, with full, lush red berry flavors and a slight, soft touch of spice.
When their dad wanted to tear out this 60-year-old vineyard, Angels stepped up and gave these sibling winemakers the funding to save the storied vines. Then they picked out the very best grapes in the whole vineyard for an otherworldly red you’ll just have to taste to believe.
The vineyard’s yields are very low, which means each grape is packed with loads of concentrated flavors and complexity. It also means that Oscar and Claudia could only make a few hundred cases of this mouth-watering red. This is one you don’t want to sleep on!
Best before
You can start drinking it now to enjoy the fruit-driven expression, but you can also be patient and wait a few years. Tannins will get tamed, the fruit will slowly leave place to a more complex pallet of aromas. Some secondary flavors will start to show after 5 years, and after 10+ years the wine should have integrated its tannins and will start to display mostly secondary flavors.
Serving advice
If you open it now, you can pour the wine in the decanter just to give it some air. It will help to open up the aromas. If you decide to keep it in your cellar for a few years, it will throw sediments, so it will be a good idea to decant before serving.
Food match
We love this wine with roasted rice with duck or with cheeses.
Contains sulphites
